VO2Max Comparison Between Seated and Standing Ergometry
… and treadmill protocols to be similar, while seated cycle ergometry V02tnax values are lower. Conversely, other studies show seated and standing cycle ergometry V02max to be comparable. Because previous studies are equivocal, the purpose of the current study was to compare V02max between …

Effect of an exercise based intervention on Virtual Time to Contact and Seated Instability Index as a function of seated postural control
Seated postural control is an essential component of daily life for non-ambulatory persons with Multiple Sclerosis (PwMS). Multiple sclerosis has negative effects on the central and peripheral control processes, however there is a lack of validated rehabiliatory strategies to improve seated …

Deep-seated bedrock landsliding in Grand Canyon's Surprise Valley area
… poorly understood. This paper describes deep-seated bedrock landslides in the Surprise Valley area by combining detailed mapping, volume-balanced cross-sections, strath terrace heights, and cosmogenic burial dating of river deposits buried by landslides. Mapping shows failures involving ~1000 …

The effect of idiopathic Parkinson's disease on seated trunk reactions
… the direction of the tilt when perturbed while seated. In order to better understand the underlying causes of these observed trunk deficits and attempt to replicate Martins findings, this study investigated postural corrective movement of the trunk while seated in patients with IPD and …

Effects of Seated Whole-Body Vibration on Spinal Stability Control
… first study was to measure the acute effect of seated whole-body vibration on the postural control of the trunk during unstable seated balance. The findings show that whole-body vibration impaired the postural control of the trunk as evidenced by increased kinematic variance and non-linear …

Protection of Standing and Seated Pedestrians Using Finite Element Analysis
… 40 years and pedestrians who use wheelchairs (seated pedestrians) have higher mortality rates than standing pedestrians in vehicle impacts. Standing pedestrian protection has generated increased attention and regulatory action but seated pedestrian protection has not been investigated or …

The Crash Injury Risk to Rear Seated Passenger Vehicle Occupants
… seat is now safer than the rear? Today, rear-seated occupants account for 10% of all passenger vehicle fatalities. In this era focused on achieving zero traffic deaths, the safety of rear-seated occupants must be further addressed. This dissertation analyzed U.S. national crash data to …

Inter-examiner and intra-examiner reliability of the seated flexion test
… of research demonstrating its reliability. The seated flexion test is a motion test that has been advocated for the detection of sacroiliac joint dysfunction and has not been examined for reliability. The aim of this study was to determine the inter- and intra-examiner reliability of the seated …

The interaction between the seated shot-putter and their throwing frame
Seated shot-put is an integral part of the Para Athletics programme. Some ambulant and wheelchair athletes can participate in the seated shot-put event, according to their classification. Seated shot-putters throw from a specialist piece of equipment known as a throwing frame. Athletes are required …

Validation of seated postural control measures in non-ambulatory persons with Multiple Sclerosis
Poor seated postural control negatively impacts the performance of daily activities in non-ambulatory persons with Multiple Sclerosis (PwMS) and may be a potential target of rehabilitation. However, there is a lack of validated clinical measures of seated postural control in persons with MS, thus …

Stationary Exercise Bicycle Instrumentation and Verification of OpenSim Pelvic Residual Loads in Seated Cycling
… transducer instrumentation. However, analysis of seated cycling often necessitates the additional measurement of the loads exerted on the rider by the seat and handlebars. A stationary exercise bicycle was instrumented with two commercial six-axis force transducers at both the seat and handlebar …

Analysis of the Stability and Response of Deep-Seated Landslides by Monitoring their Basal Temperature
<p>Deep-seated landslides are known as large slides involving millions of cubic meters that move as a rigid block on top of a deep (below the roots of the trees and the groundwater level) basal layer of heavily deformed minerals. This kind of landslides geometrically shears as …
